As we prepare to wrap up the grant supporting the Jersey Kicks COVID & Flu effort, we asked Dr. Stanley H. Weiss, a physician, epidemiologist, and professor in the Department of Medicine at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School to join us for a final, extended update on where we are with COVID-19 and flu in New Jersey. While this may be our final update for now, we plan to continue supporting the COVID and flu navigational needs of New Jersey residents through our ongoing work in our regional chronic disease coalitions.

Here we are in the middle of February and cases of COVID-19 and flu are both still on the rise across New Jersey, bringing us a later peak to flu season than in years past. To get an update on where we are today and what to expect for the rest of this respiratory illness season, we are joined by Dr. Stanley H. Weiss, a physician, epidemiologist, and professor in the Department of Medicine at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. 

The first few weeks of winter have ushered in an increase in cases of both COVID-19 and flu across New Jersey. To get a sense of where we are with risk, vaccination, the return of masking policies, and more, we asked Dr. Stanley H. Weiss, a physician, epidemiologist, and professor in the Department of Medicine at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, what's happening right now.
